    We were greeted by an attentive waiter. The wife kicked off the night with the “Wish Me Luck” cocktail, to which the waiter responded, “Good luck.” For appetizers, we had the arugula salad, Caesar salad, and garlic bread. For the main course, I had the Fettuccine Avanti, and she had the Chicken Parm, which was a big hit.
